the central tube of the machine.

The varying thicknesses of the braids or ribbons to be thus secured tothe material make it highly desirable that the guide which presents thebraid or ribbon to the needle should be adjustable with regard to thesame; and the particular object of my invention is the provision ofmeans for accurately adjusting said guide relative to the needle andholding the same fixedly in its adjusted position.

The invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawings, illustrating one embodiment of my invention, and where1nFigure 1 is a front elevational view, partly in section, of the improvedguide applied to Fig. 2 is a view at right angles to Fig 1. Fig. 3 is aview similar to Fig. 1, but with a modified. form of guide for use withtwo braids or ribbons. Fig. 4 is a view at right angles to Fig. 3 and Fi5 is a transverse sectional View on the line a Fig. 2. j

Referring to the drawings, the braid 1 passes through the central tube23 in the wellknown manner and reaches the guide 2, within which in thepresent embodiment a thread ed needle 3 performs its up and downmotionsi In moving through, the guide 2 the braid or ribbon 1 passesover the bridge 17, at which point the needle 3 passes through the braidor ribbon, sewing it to the material, as set forth in my United Statespatent above referred to. The guide 2 is secured to the central tube 23by means of two screws 24 and 25, the former passing through anelongated slot in the guide, which slot permits the desired adjustmentof said guide.

Heretofore when very thin braid was to be stitched to the cloth it wasdifficult, if not impossible, to fix the guide 2 with such accuracyrelative to the needle that thelatter would not, on the one hand, strikethe bridge 17 or, on the other hand, miss the braid altogether,

and accordingly the provision of effective ad usting means was renderednecessary to obviate these possibilities and in order that the needleshould pass through the braid to form an invisible stitch. To this endthere is secured to central tube 23 an arm 26, through which passes theadj usting-screw 27, one end of which engages the side of the guide 2,as shown. It will thus be apparent that by manipulating set-screw 27guide 2 can be adjusted with the greatest accuracy about screw 25 as apivot, so that the needle will stitch through the braid to form an in--visible stitch, and also that the guide maybe rigidly secured to thetube .23 by turning screw 24. in the direction of the arrow, 1,wherebyit will be brought to bear against setscrew 27. Besidesconstituting the adjusting medium, the presence of set-screw 27exactly'positions and prevents the guide 2 from being pushed to one sidewhen the screw 24 is tightened, which displacement would occur were saidset-screw not'present.

Figs. 3 and 4 show an arrangement of the guide 2 for use when two ormore braids or ribbons are to be sewed on the cloth at the same time,one above the other. The up er braid or ribbon 1 passes through the e 2in the manner above referred to, and t e sec- 0nd braid orribbon 28passes around'bridge" V 29 and under braid 1, as shown.

What is claimed is 1. In machines for sewing braid or the like tofabric, a needle and means for operating the same, a guide ha an o eningtherein through which the brai is fe and a bar or bridge across saidopening over which the braid is bent in position for the needle to passinto and out of the same at its under surface, said guide beingadjustable toward and from the needle.

2. In machines for sewing braid or the like to fabric, a needle andmeans for operating the same, a pivoted guide having an o ening thereinthrough which the braid is fed and a bar or bridge across said openingover which the braid is bent in position for the needle to pass into andout of the same at its under surface, and means for adjusting said guiderela tive to the needle.

3-. In machines for sewing braid or the like to fabric, a needle andmeans for operating the same, a guide havin an opening therein throughwhich the brai is fed and a bar or brid e across said opening over whichthe brai is bent in position for the needle to pass IIO - needle.
